Despite his massive screw-up Sunday night, Steve Harvey will likely be back to host Miss Universe again next year.
The TV personality signed a multi-year contract with the organization just days before the pageant occurred, sources close to the situation told Entertainment Tonight Tuesday.
Harvey is reportedly being paid “more than they’ve ever paid before for a host” and his contract is at least three years. It could be as long as six or seven. (RELATED: Miss Universe Pageant Judge: ‘Miss Colombia Was Being A ‘Diva B**ch”)

During the pageant Sunday night, Harvey announced the wrong contestant as the winner, only to realize his mistake a few minutes later.
The source said he was “mortified” by his actions. (VIDEO: How Donald Trump Would Have Handled The Miss Universe Mix-Up)
